Characters
C Beatrice (Tris)
Beatrice a 16 year old girl is the main
character in the novel Divergent. She grew up
in the selfless faction known as Abnegation.
She has very conflicted feelings about the
abnegation. She has a strong feeling that she
does not belong in the Abnegation faction.
At the choosing ceremony she decides to go
into the faction of the Dauntless and leave
her parents and family forever. As she gets
farther into Dauntless she notices that she
has to put more and more effort in to get a
chance at entering the faction of the
dauntless. I also believe she is strong willed
and hates showing her weaknesses.
Beatrice is protagonist and is a major
character. Beatrice is dynamic.
What we think
Beatrice looks like
C Four
Four or his real name Tobias Eaton is the trainer
of the new other faction initiates. He appears
to have a very glum attitude towards life. He
takes the Dauntless faction and its business
very seriously. He has a strong dislike for the
the dauntless leader Eric. His nickname is
Four the author tells you later in the book why
he is called Four, he is called Four because
when he took the fear test he only had 4 fears.
Also when he took his aptitude test he results
were Abnegation which he was supposed to go
into, but to escape his fathers cruelty he went
into Dauntless. Four is a protagonist. Four is a
major character. Four is dynamic.
This is is what we
though Four looks like
C Christina
Christina is a girl from the faction of
Candor. She is tall, has dark
brown skin, short hair, and is
pretty. She becomes Beatrice’s
friend and companion during the
first stages of training. As the
training goes on they seem to talk
less and less and start to see each
other not as much friends but
more as competition. They start to
see each other as competition after
their rankings were shown and
Beatrice ranked first and Christina
ranked 7th . Christina is a
protagonist. Christina is a major
character. Christina is static.
This is what we thought
Christina looked like
C Al
Al is a character that has decided to go into
the faction Dauntless who is a transfer
from Candor, but seems to be having
second thoughts about it. He chooses
Dauntless because he admires their
bravery and also his parents heavily
influenced him. As the training turns into
fighting Al wins his first round but then
intentionally looses the rest of the fights.
He has a crush on Tris and then he gets
rejected he commits suicide. Another
reason he commits suicide is because
when Peter and Al try to kill Tris for
being the first rank, he fails and feels
guilty. Al is a protagonist and is a minor
character. Al is dynamic.
This what we think Albert
looks like
C Eric
Eric was Four's competitor when
they were both intinates. Four
finished first in their class, and
Eric was second; he has hated
Four ever since. He is one the
leaders of the Dauntless and is
excessively violent and cruel. He
has black hair, many piercings
and cold eyes. He was chosen by
the leaders to oversee initiates
and their training as to set their
attitudes and instincts. Eric is an
Antagonist. Eric is a major
character in addition Eric is a
dynamic character.
Settings
S Setting
The novel Divergent takes place in a futuristic Chicago. In the story there are
five factions that divide the population according to what they believe.
Candor (the honest) Erudite (the intelligent) Amity (the peaceful)
Dauntless (the brave, Or Tough) Abnegation (the selfless). The main
settings in the novel are Beatrice’s house (where she was raised and lived
in until she was 16 years old), the high school (is the school that all
factions attend), Dauntless headquarters, the pit (the center of the
dauntless complex with a pit in the middle), dauntless initiate sleeping
quarters (where Beatrice slept and lived during initiation), run down
amusement park (where the paint ball ritual took place), Michigan
avenue, the Hancock Building (where the choosing and the zip lining
took place), lake shore drive, the marsh/swamp (part of the paint ball
fight).
Plot
P Rising Action
In the novel Divergent the rising action starts when Beatrice
selects dauntless as her faction. As the story progresses the
rising action is accelerated when Beatrice is the first to jump
into dauntless headquarters. Another rising action is when
she gets ranked into first place. Also when she sees Four’s
fear’s and does her own fear test. The last piece of rising
action is when she passes her initiation and Eric puts the
needle in everyone.
P Climax
The climax of the story is when the Erudite and Dauntless go
into the battle against Abnegation. I think this is the climax
because after this all the action happens and also when
everything just starts to go down.
P Falling Action
The falling action of the novel Divergent is many events such as
when Tris’s mom dies saving her. Also after that when Tris
and her father go to the dauntless compound to shut down
the mind control, the troops get alarmed and start to shoot
and her father dies in action. The last piece of falling action
is when Tobias and Tris fight but Tobias comes back to his
senses and does not kill her.
P Conflict
Conflict
Type
Four and Eric fight about should have
been ranked first when they were
initiates.
Man vs. Man
Beatrice has conflicted thoughts about Man vs. Self
four, and if he likes her, or if he does
not.
Beatrice is divergent and is rejected by Man vs. Society
the society that she is living in and is
forced to hide what she is.
P Theme and Resolution
The theme is the moral or the lesson of the story. The moral or
lesson we got from the book Divergent is that there can be two
sides to everyone.
The resolution to the novel Divergent is that Beatrice, Tobias, and
the rest of the group they are in escape from the city and
move into the country side.
